Nikon 3100 red pictures

I have a Nikon 3100 that has a quite noticeable red tint to the pictures
using the auto mode.This has been happening since I first bought it. When I
realized this, I had to use Photoshop LE to increase the green by 15.

The red tint happens on all pictures. Outdoor cloudy or sunny with or
without flash and indoor with flash. The only way to adjust the white
balance is in the manual mode and then it doesn't stay when the camera is
powered off and on.

I recently sent it back to Nikon and included a CD with before and after
examples. Yesterday I received it back and it's exactly the same. The paper
that was with it says that it was adjusted to be "within standards". I
called them to confirm this and they told me that it was what was done.

A camera no doubt assembled in red China by the red Chinese who are doing a
little sub rosa advertising for their political system;-)

Here's the fix: Take your camera with you when you next go to the polls to
vote, rub it on the ballot box and all will be fine.............
